Yo, guess who got 37 accidentally from a single ten pull?

In celebration, Actors AU!

37

finally worked up the courage to ask Sophia out on a date.

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉

My friend told me the same thing and I was like "goddamn luck be on your ass"

Didn't know if you wanted a short story but I tried ☝️

There is never a shortage of rumors in the set. Harmless, of course, but still funny and interesting, as well as a little informative.

It's not hard to assume that some would even know about the existence of such rumors, those with little interactions would naturally have a hard time learning or keeping up with the gossip, and those denser than a brick wall wouldn't even be aware of them.

During accidental meetings with an acquaintance, it's best to settle for a topic everyone is well aware of, gossip. Sitting outside of the place they hang out the most without any topic to share, what's more simple than gossiping for a moment?

If you know how to, that is.

Alma and Thirty-Seven had been sitting on a bench outside the set for more than ten minutes, one mindlessly playing with her hand, the other thinking deeply of a topic to start a conversation, the girl is a friend's daughter and friends with her own son, this awkward silence can't stay forever, can it?

A brilliant idea came to mind. Thirty-Seven must not be too different from her mother, they're just like each other, so, she must enjoy gossip too, right?

Right?

"Thirty-Seven, is it true that you have a crush on Sophia?" Alma attempted to start a conversation with Thirty-Seven, a poor subject to choose for a poor unsociable lady.

"WHAT?!" And the response received carried the expected shock from such a blunt question. "Who-- who told you that?! Was it Two hundred and ten? That bastard--"

"Uh, no" Alma shook her head, placing a firm hand on the girl's shoulder to prevent her from standing up. "It's actually quite a famous rumour, Seventy-Seven and Regulus told me they heard it from someone, who then heard it from someone, and so on"

Thirty-Seven's face grew redder the more details Alma offered, blue eyes searching for any kind of indication that this had been nothing more than a tasteless joke. Of course, Alma is nothing more than an honest woman, not a trace of a lie on her face. Such a thing running around, had she been so obvious that even this sheltered lady would know?

"Uhm, Miss Alma," The woman turned to Thirty-Seven with a curious glance, just like what Atticus would do. Like mother like son. "Do you think Sophia knows?"

"Yes, indeed" No hesitation in the woman's voice accompanied by a soft smile "she had been there during Seventy-Seven's explanation of the rumor"

Alma found herself confused once Thirty-Seven turned to her with wide eyes and a pale face. Whatever had been on her mind had been long forgotten, she could almost see betrayal in her eyes.

"Is there something wrong-- oh," Alma placed her hand on her shoulder, ashamed of her own naivety. Of course that would be her reaction, what a stupid question to ask! "I apologize, perhaps I shouldn't have told you that" or she should have? What a dilemma.

"Sophia knows?! But-- Where is my mother at this moment?" Thirty-Seven stood up in a hurry, moments before realization could settle in completely.

"I saw her moments ago, let me guide the way there" The whole time Alma tried to calm down Thirty-Seven, even more thoughts appeared in her mind.

They stood from that small bench, walking towards the last place Alma swore she had seen Seventy-Seven, that cunning lady, always scheming with such an angelic face... Mm, that sounded very different on paper.

Thirty-Seven placed a hand on her chin, deep in thought like she usually would during a mathematical problem, but this is a real life problem! A rumor that could ruin her relationship!

But, that's merely a rumor, isn't it? Sophia would not believe such a baseless rumor, this is Sophia we're talking about! But, if she did, how would she react? What if she found it disgusting? What if she didn't want them to be friends anymore? What if she breaks all ties with her because of this?!

"Are you overthinking?" Thirty-Seven's thoughts are broken by the woman's soft voice, her own confused and surprised face must have answered that question. "Atticus has that same face when he's in deep thought, don't worry, you can share your thoughts with me"

As far as she knows, Alma is a more reliable woman than her own mother. This betrayal being the best example. Though a bit sheltered and socially awkward, the woman, had never let her down even once! Unlike her mother, what a traitor.

"What if Sophia ends her friendship with me over this? I have heard so many takes of friendships breaking because of these kinds of rumors..."

Alma sighs, placing a comforting hand on Thirty-Seven's shoulder, squeezing slightly. "It's obvious it's not just a rumor, dear" And the girl looks away, red-faced. "But do you really think Sophia would leave you behind over such a simple thing?"

Thirty-Seven shakes her head slowly, making Alma laugh amusedly.

"Even if she didn't return your feelings," Which I doubt "she wouldn't dream of leaving you behind over such a simple deal, you know this better than anyone, dear"

Thirty-Seven has no response to this, after all, Alma is right. Sophia has been there through thick and thin, despite everything, so why would she leave over such a rumor? Thirty-Seven looks up to Alma, a pleading gaze in her beautiful blue eyes.

"Miss Alma, would you be my mother?"

"That holds some implications, so no"

It proved hard to find Seventy-Seven, the woman could never stay in one place for a long time, however, they did find an even more knowledgeable guide. Well, he just finished talking with the woman they've been looking for, so he had fresher information on her whereabouts.

"Let me see if I understood this correctly," Atticus led the way, his gaze resolute, but even someone like him could be curious over such an absurd discourse. "Your mother, Miss Seventy-Seven, shared with Sophia--"

"And Miss Alma!"

"...And my mother, that you have a crush on Sophia, am I correct?"

"As always, Atticus!"

"What a funny discussion"

Atticus' reactions are hard to discern, but Thirty-Seven has gotten used to his and his mother's ways to show emotions. Subtle, but meaningful, hiding behind their words and careless actions.

"Are you sure this is the way, Atticus?" Alma walked by his side, their blond head so similar one could almost confuse one with the other, that is if you didn't look at their faces.

"Of course, mother, I heard she would speak with Miss Greta for a while" Atticus sneered "A one-sided conversation that would last as long as Miss Greta's patience, nothing."

"Hey! My mother is not that annoying, I'm sure Greta would hold a longer conversation than last time!"

The mother and son turned to each other, sharing silent conversation with their eyes before turning back to Thirty-Seven.

Oh she doesn't know.

"Mm, look, she's there" Atticus decided to smartly ignore the response, pointing instead at the gorgeous woman with blue hair excitedly talking to the most tired-looking woman on the set.

"Mother!"

Thirty-Seven ran all the way to her mother, leaving behind her guides that accompanied her all the way without a single goodbye or thank you. Terrible, but expected from Thirty-Seven.

"Rude..."

"...As expected of Seventy-Seven's daughter"

"Ah? Oh! Thirty-Seven, darling, what a surprise seeing you here!" Seventy-Seven's attention turned to her daughter running towards her. God has blessed Greta.

"Mother! I've been looking for you for a while! I need to speak with you!" Thirty-Seven grabbed both of her mother's arms, holding her in place desperately, and turned to the tired woman by their side. "Uh, privately, if that's alright with you, Miss Greta"

The woman shook her head, relieved to have such a distraction from Seventy-Seven's annoying words. "It's more than alright, thank you, Thirty-Seven" and so, she parted ways, quickly.

Now that it's just mother and daughter, Thirty-Seven has enough freedom to stare at her mother with a betrayed gaze, winning an amused but confused grin from the older woman.

"Mother, is it true you told Sophia about my crush on her?!"

Seventy-Seven blinked once before laughing, anyone would have been deceived, but not Thirty-Seven. She's lived sixteen years with her, she knows her mother.

"Of course not! What sort of things go through your brain, dear?"

"Miss Alma told me so!"

Seventy-Seven gasped, her gaze now similar to her daughter's. "That traitor!"

"You're the traitor!"

Such an argument technically made sense, so Seventy-Seven had to give in. She sighed, easing her daughter's grip with her hands slowly.

"Listen, you aren't exactly the most discreet one, dear" As if that answer would love everything "But I didn't tell her because I could, she asked and I couldn't say no! What a darling she is, you should definitely ask her out"

This time, it's Thirty-Seven's turn to look confused and tired. Too much time around Greta can do that to you. "She asked?"

"Indeed! She came to me since you were hard to find, a couple days ago if I remember correctly, and asked me bluntly if you had a crush on her" Seventy-Seven nodded at the memory, as if approving of something "She's smarter than I thought, but you're also not that discreet, I still have to give her points for asking"

"A couple days ago?!"

"Are you just going to repeat what I'm saying? I thought you'd ask more important things!"

Thirty-Seven let go of her mother, covering her face with her hands. Sophia and her just talked yesterday like normal, this morning Sophia looked so normal, not like she had discovered Thirty-Seven's raging crush on her.

"What do I do now???" If she had thought about it more deeply, she would have realized that Sophia didn't even mind or care, but of course she didn't.

"How about you ask her out on a date? I doubt she'd say no, and you have nothing to lose!"

"My friendship??"

"Who cares about being friends?" Perhaps it's a curse of their family, but comforting is not their forte, especially in these cases. "Okay, that sounds horrible"

Perhaps she realized so because of Thirty-Seven's petrified face or because finally she had used emotions and reactions.

"Listen, dear, I know this must sound horrible, but if she already knows, isn't it more painful to leave it as it is? A question in her mind that would plague her forever? She's waiting for your answer, dear, won't you give it to her?"

Sometimes, Seventy-Seven proved herself to be a decent mother, someone that you could trust with your problems, that would give you advice with a soft smile on her face and a warm gaze in her soft eyes. Perhaps that is why she's so adored by many.

"...Miss Alma is better at comforting than you"

"I know, isn't that ho--"

"But, thank you, mother" A smart interruption before things got off the rails, Thirty-Seven looked into her mother's eyes, determined, as always. "I'm going to talk to Sophia and clear this misunderstanding!"

"Hah, no" Seventy-Seven gave a well deserved slap to the back of her stupid daughter's head, affectionately. "You're going to build up the courage to tell her your feelings, preferably now, as soon as possible"

"But--but why?!"

"I'm tired of hearing you fawning over your best friend, I want to hear you talk about your girlfriend for once"

Ah, indeed, what a weird conversation, but it seems that only those two understand each other. Thirty-Seven nodded her head, having made up her mind after her mother's nonsensical cheerful words.

"Alright, wish me luck!" And she ran to Sophia's direction, forgetting that she doesn't know where she is. "Wait-- Where is Sophia?"

"...You don't know?"

"..."

"Her room, darling, she's in her room"

"Thank you, mother!" She ran again, this time in the opposite direction, to Sophia's room somewhere in the building.

Seventy-Seven watched her go with a proud smile on her face "I love spreading misinformation, good luck dear!"

What a tiring journey, Thirty-Seven took a moment to catch her breath before knocking on Sophia's door. The final destination to this adventure, and the only place where she had felt the more nervous.

Her heartbeat accelerated, her hands sweaty and her legs shaking, all signs of being nervous-- or running all the way here, as Thirty-Seven tried to convince herself.

"You can do it, Thirty-Seven! You're your mother's daughter, you should be able to say something as simple as a confession, it's not hard! Think of this as a mathematical problem!" Oh no... "The answer is a formula, one that can be solved with easy wording!" A door had been opened, but Thirty-Seven had been too caught up to notice "What is the information we have? Sophia's knowledge, your own feelings and the problem being lack of communication!"

"And how would you solve that problem?"

"Confessing my love, of course-- SOPHIA?!"

Standing in front of her is the same girl she had been thinking about, eyes wide in surprise and growing blush on her cheeks. She heard everything... Well, mumbling outside her door is something anyone would be concerned about.

"Hello, Thirty-Seven" Sophia tried to maintain a straight face at those words and at the deafening shout. "I would have asked what you're doing here but I think I shouldn't"

"Why are you here?!"

"...This is, uh, my room..."

"...Forget what you just heard and listen to me!"

As hard of a request as it is, and Sophia's face growing even more red every second that passed, Thirty-Seven had to act quickly and precisely before making a fool out of herself! More than she already is.

"I-- Sophia, I--" Thirty-Seven's hand trembled, her face so red it rivalled Sophia's hair.

"Do you want me to--"

"No! I have to do this, for my pride!" Sophia shrugged, the scene as silly as it can be. "Sophia, I am in--in... In, I'm," How would her mother say those words? Terrible example to take but also the best at the same time. "Go on a date with me!"

A moment of silence for Thirty-Seven. Fortunately, Sophia found it funny. The usually composed young lady, a prodigy at mathematics and the smartest person she had ever seen... Shaking from head to toe, red faced and embarrassed. A cute image that made Sophia laugh, something the poor girl had only been able to witness twice.

"Of course, whenever you want, Thirty-Seven" She looked at the stunned girl by her door. "Not today, I assume, but I'd love to"

"Really?!"

"Really"

Thirty-Seven held back her wish to punch the air, her dignity had been dragged through the mud, she needed to preserve what was left.

Oh, and solve the mystery of why Sophia hadn't told her about her own crush if she had asked.

"Oh, and, Sophia" The girl hummed, waiting for the upcoming question. "My mother said that you had asked her if I had a crush on you, why didn't you tell me if you already knew?"

Sophia furrowed her brows, blinking in confusion. "I didn't ask her anything of the sorts"

"But, Miss Alma also told me you knew about the rumors about me..."

"The rumors, yes, these are hard to miss, but I never asked anything to Miss Seventy-Seven"

Sophia could feel Thirty-Seven's anger grow, to prevent any incidents, she had an idea.

"How about you come with me to get some coffee? After all, I walked out because I needed something to drink" That's a lie, but a harmless one, to save whatever pride the girl had left.

"Yes-- wait, why coffee?"

"Regulus' recommendation... Don't get mad at her and come with me, please"

And so, Sophia attempted to distract Thirty-Seven from her mother's betrayal, two times already. This would be considered a date, but Thirty-Seven wanted something that could feel more warm, more romantic.

Preferably, without any help from her mother.

37 with Alexia

37 //getting turned on by the other's jealousy//

It wasn’t often that you got jealous and that is because you were very secure in your relationship and you trusted Alexia implicitly.

This moment though was enough to wake up the green eyed monster within you. Losing the World Cup final was one thing but seeing Alexia swap shirts with her ex girlfriend didn’t sit well with you at all.

You and Lucy stayed out on the pitch to watch Spain celebrate their win. It was both a way of showing respect and proudness towards your club team mates but it was also a form of self punishment with the two of you less than happy with your performance.

“I’ve never seen you jealous” Lucy comments from beside where you sat in the pitch.

“I’m not jealous” you fall back in frustration.

You truly believed the words you were saying. You weren’t jealous, you were pissed off and it was getting worse with every lingering touch made by Jenni and Alexia’s obliviousness didn’t makes things better.

Meanwhile Alexia watches you with Lucy and wonders what is the best thing to do. She knew that you would want your space but she wanted to be with you more than she did her team mates.

Your eyes are closed when you hear footsteps approach you and you hear a faint congratulations come from Lucy. It didn’t take a rocket science to figure out who she was talking to.

“Mi alma” Alexia says as she takes a seat beside you.

“You don’t get to call me that right now” you remain laid out leading Alexia to join you on laying on her back too.

“Why not? I know this must hurt but we are still us”

If you weren’t so mad you would have found the softness in Alexia’s words and tone cute.

“No we are not. You are an us with her” you sit up in frustration.

“With who?” Your girlfriend asked us confusion.

“Look at your shirt and take a guess”

“Y/N we are friends, she is —“

“You’re wearing her name Alexia! Her name! I want you wearing mine, not hers!”

Alexia could tell you were upset and if she knew that the small gesture of swapping shirts with Jenni would affect you this way then she wouldn’t have done it. She knew that she should feel bad and part of her does but there is another feeling that outweighs that one.

You saw the look in Alexia’s eyes change. They darken and it was a sight you knew well and in almost any other circumstance it would be a welcomed sight, but not right now.

“I like your jealous side” Alexia says whilst giving you a look, the look.

“Really? This is turning you on?”

Your girlfriend shrugs her shoulders innocently. It’s not like she is in control of her body when she is around you.

“What if I take the shirt off?” The suggestion is a good one.

“It’s a start” you say knowing that Alexia won’t do it. You are on the pitch with thousands on fans’ eyes on you and god knows how many cameras.

These factors don’t seem to bother Alexia as she happily strips herself of the shirt donning her ex girlfriend’s last name.

Titus Flavius and his indelible traces.

Titus Flavius was born in Rome on December 30 of the year 39. He was a direct descendant of a loyal soldier of Pompey the Great during the Civil War against Julius Caesar. After Pompey's defeat at the Battle of Pharsalia, his life was spared by Julius Caesar, returned to home and became a Publicanus (tax collector). In an incredible twist of fate, the Flavians, a family of peasants, who came from the defeat of the past, ended up occupying the throne founded by Caesar's heir.

During reign of 'Caligula' (37-41) Vespasian, father of Titus, was Aedile of Rome. According Suetonius, Emperor passed by a street that was very dirty, ordered Vespasian to be brought and the garbage thrown on him, and then told him "Do your job well, keep the city clean."

During the reign of Claudius (41-54) Vespasian obtained the position of praetor and the command of one of the legions that went to the conquest of Britannia. In 51 was Consul.

After rebellion in Judea in the year 66, emperor Nero chose the experienced general Vespasian to put an end to the conflict. Vespasian went with his son, Titus, who was then 26 years old, and was an excellent army's officer.

In June 68, after of the death of Nero, the first civil war of the imperial era broke out, which would last until December of the following year. In the chaotic year 69, known as The Year of the 4 emperors: the first ,Galba was assassinated; the second, Otho committed suicide; the third, Vitellius, was executed, the fourth, Vespasian was proclaimed emperor by the army, ending the civil war. Titus was left in command against the rebellion in Judea.

A historical event of mystical relevance.

After months of bloody fighting, on August of the year 70, the Temple of Jerusalem was looted, burned and demolished by Titus's troops.

'La distruzione del tempio di Gerusalemme' by Francesco Hayez, 1867

Titus along his father and brother had a triumphal parade in Rome. Years later, in the place where they passed, his younger brother, the Emperor Domitian, ordered the construction of the Triumphal Arch. One of its extraordinary relief depicts the Triumph with the treasures of the Temple. It should be noted that Vespasian and his two sons had the name TITUS FLAVIUS, so emperor Domitian (Titus Flavius Domitian) built the famous Arch of Titus not necessarily in honour of his brother ​​- as is popularly believed - but rather in honour of the Triumph of the Flavians.

Some modern historians agree that such a Triumph was not due to what happened in Jerusalem, since the First Jewish–Roman War did not really end completely in August 70, but in April 73 at Masada. The real reason was the accession to the throne of Vespasian, and the presentation of Titus as heir. As Dio Cassius recounts, with Vespasian declared emperor, Titus and his brother Domitian received the title of Caesar in the name of the Senate.

But Vespasian become emperor by defeating other Romans in a civil war. Triumphal parades could not be held by defeating other Romans, so the rebellion in Judea was just a perfect excuse for the celebration.

The Triumph of Titus: The Flavians, by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1885)

The central figure in white (pontifex maximus) is not Titus but his father ​​Vespasian. Behind him we see his youngest son Domitian, holding the hand of his wife Domitia Longina, and behind them is Titus, dressed as his father. She looks romantically at Titus, and he returns a knowing look. Lawrence Alma-Tadema thus portrayed the historical rumour that Emperor Titus Flavius was having an affair with his sister-in-law.

Vespasian decided to tear down the Domus Aurea, the palace that Nero had ordered to be built for his own enjoyment, and build "a palace for the enjoyment of the people". He saw his work almost completed but died of illness on June 23, 79, at his estate. The next day Titus Flavius ​​​​succeeded him.

A mess with the gods.

Four months later a tragic event occurred. The peaceful mount Vesuvius exploded; Some Roman cities literally disappeared with their inhabitants, others were severely damaged with many dead and wounded. Among the dead was the prestigious writer and Naval Commander Pliny the Elder, a close friend of the imperial family, who had dedicated his book 'Naturalis historia' to Titus.

Emperor immediately went to the scene of the disaster. He made immense works and donations to help those affected in the area.

Months after the eruption of Vesuvius, while Titus was visiting devastated Pompeii for the second time, a fire broke out in Rome that lasted three days. Several important buildings were severely damaged, according to Dio Cassius the Pantheon, the Temple of Jupiter, the Theatre of Pompey, among others. To make matters worse, a brief but mysterious plague broke out immediately after the fire, although it is not known what kind of disease it was or how many died.

Soon rumors began to circulate that the gods had a personal problem with Titus because of his forbidden love for Princess Berenice, great-great-granddaughter of Herod the Great. The ancient Romans believed that when a misfortune affected everyone, such as natural disasters and plagues, it was due to the wrath of the gods and that this happened when the gods did not like the ruler.

Although he was a very popular emperor, he did not want to risk those tragedies affecting his image, so he decided in the year 80 to accelerate his father's work, which still had to wait to be completed. And so began the inauguration of the most famous "stadium" in history : The Flavian amphitheater.

There were 100 days of games: Recreations of naval battles, with that monumental site full of water, exhibitions of wild animals and the legendary gladiator fights. Those shows were free for the people.They had never seen an amphitheater of such grandeur.

Very soon the people of Rome forgot about Vesuvius, the conflagration, the plague, and Berenice.

In fact, its height and shape were a real architectural novelty, something completely different from the classic Roman amphitheatres. Because of the sculpture, Nero's Colossus, the only thing that Vespasian did not order to be demolished and that remained imposing next to the amphitheatre, over time people began to say "let's go to the Colossus" (the Colosseum). Ironically, the great work that Vespasian ordered to be built to replace the Domus Aurea, and Titus officially inaugurated, instead of being known as the Amphitheatre Flavius, went down in history with the name of the sculpture that Nero ordered to be built.

A sesterce from the time of Emperor Titus.

The pseudo-Nero

After Nero's death, rumors began to circulate that his suicide was not real. Years later, this rumor had spread throughout the empire and even beyond its borders. Suetonius wrote about an event that he experienced during the reign of Domitian: "Twenty years after his death, when I was young, a man of obscure origin appeared, who claimed he was Nero; And the name Nero was still in such favour with the Parthians that they supported him vigorously and surrendered him with great reluctance."

The Parthians were happy believing that Nero was alive because during his reign he signed the peace treaty.

Titus had to face the rebellion of a guy called Terentius Maximus, another Pseudo-Nero that according Dio Cassius "He resembled Nero in voice and appearance and, like him, he played the lyre." The impostor had a lot of followers in the eastern Roman provinces. The Parthian king received this man and made preparations for him to return to Rome as legitime emperor but he was executed when his true identity was revealed.

On September 13, 81, Titus died at the age of 41 on his father's farm, due to fever. His brief reign was very prosperous and popular and free of military and political conflicts. Having only a daughter (Julia Flavia), his successor was his brother Domitian who ruled for 15 years.

According to Roman writers, his last words were: "I regret nothing except one thing"; And some believe that he regretted not marrying Berenice.

The Colosseum and the Wailing Wall are undoubtedly the two indelible traces of Titus Flavius.

;R1999 6 - Relationship Headcanons

Compilation of headcanons about 6 in a romantic relationship.

I was struggling soooooo hard with another 6 request so I had to get this post out of my system fist before tackling that one

Okay, first of all! I don't see 6 as the type of person who would be that interested in having a relationship, at least not beyond what is expected of him as the leader of Apeiron. It's the least of his priorities as of now.

Part of it is largely due to his responsibilities--he knows that he cannot afford to show any sort of favoritism, and he is much too thoughtful to force someone he cares about under such pressure, simply because he harbors feelings for them. It's very ironic that the one thing that defines his entire life and existence is also what keeps him from seeking any deeper relationships. 6 knows more than anyone that the loneliness of his title would be extended to his partner, and so, he has no actual firsthand experience in romantic relationships other than what he might've studied while in reclusion.

Of course, this isn't to say that he's entirely inept when it comes to socializing or all sorts of relationships. He is the best at being 6 for a reason, as much as he dislikes it.

We know that he loves his people, if his devotion to his role of leader is anything to go by. And he clearly cares about his friendship with 210, 37 and Sophia, as strained or complex as these dynamics may be, as he makes sure to retrieve the crown that they made for him each and every day that it's stolen. He loved his aunt Alma too, she played a big role in his upbringing after all.

So 6 isn't a stranger to love, but he is very passive about it.

To describe 6 as "passive" could be seen as an insult, especially after what his character event showed us in relation to his struggle against fate, but I think there's a key difference to the passive nature that is presented between 6 prior to receiving the Revelation and after he settles in as the new leader. His initial lack of action was fueled by resignation, a fear for the inevitable fate his bloodline carries. But now, he knows that refusing to act is sometimes necessary to maintain the harmony within the island, this is why he's described as a mediator. Love can happen, but there's no reason to upset the precarious balance he maintains by indulging in romance.

On the subject of 6 developing a crush.

6 is an extremely introspective man with a very good grasp on his own feelings and thoughts--even more so now that he's obtained the Revelation! If he has a crush then trust me, he knows. He notices the fondness he has for you the moment those feelings start blooming in his chest.

And he's not going to do a single thing about it.

He's not going to act upon any of his feelings. He's not going to let anyone find out, for the sake of maintaining this perfect balance. His behaviour remains the same, no signs of being flustered whatsoever. There are no fleeting glances, no hands brushing on accident. He doesn't stare at you from afar, wondering if you could ever love him, pining and yearning for your attention.

That doesn't happen, not in public.

Just like every other detail about his life, his thoughts of you are kept private, for him to ponder on whenever he's alone in his room, meditating. The outside world has no business bearing witness to these feelings--you are special to him and so, he keeps the memory of you safe and sound. 6 is much too mature to actually pine and yearn, but he does like to wonder and explore other possibilities, another life in which he's not burdened by fate, in which he's given the choice to find his own soul number for as long as it takes. Another life in which he can openly confess without fearing for what might happen to you should you accept him.

I like to think that these little fantasies help him tolerate the stress of the daily routine, it's something nice that gives him solace. When he's alone, his existence isn't defined by a number nor the history of his family, he can just be at ease and dream of better things.

I want to stress the fact that he wouldn't confess, no matter how strong his feelings are. Even if you happened to reciprocate, 6 would always prioritize the stability of Apeiron and turn you down for your sake and everyone else's. 6 would actually prefer to be close friends with his crush.

On the subject of dating 6.

I like to think that for 6 to start considering the idea of courting you, you have to actually debate him.

Not a battle of attrition like the debates 210 insists on having, but a fair and honest discussion to give him proof and solid arguments that could help him ease into the idea of dating someone for love, rather than duty. Something like this would really ease 6's mind, being able to get to know you better through the way you defend yourself and the love you hold for him, as well as weighting the public's reaction. Two birds in one stone. If you manage to do that, then there's no reason for him to object.

I don't know what I like the most out of these options though, the idea of 6 choosing to give a proper confession in private to finally share everything he's kept to himself, so that you may accept all of him at his most honest and vulnerable. Or him not confessing, choosing to invite you to his study and enjoy a moment of respite in absolute silence, knowing that there's nothing keeping you two from being together. So whichever floats your boat!

When it comes to actually dating him, not much would change.

6 understands that there's been a considerable shift in his life, but his lack of experience and solitary lifestyle would lead him to continue with his routine--if you want to see him, then you'll have to seek him out like you've always done. He's more than content knowing you're aware of his feelings and wouldn't really seek to change anything else, so it's entirely up to you to communicate and discuss what you'd like out of this relationship. He'll be more than glad to listen and accomodate you as much as he can.

You taking the initiative in this might also fuel him to share the things he'd like to do! Again, this passive nature doesn't come from shyness, but duty. I can see him being open to anything and being very direct about his own needs, as long as he can continue to separate his personal life and time with you from his time outside and his responsibilities.

Overall, dating 6 is a very calm experience! He never got the chance to know himself without the pressure of the Revelation, but he enjoys getting to know you instead. While most of the time he simply asks you to sit with him and relax, he puts the effort into finding time to spend with you, even if it's just walking together from one place to another before both of you must tend to your respective duties.

On the subject of his partner not being from Apeiron.

The way I see it, 6 is a little more lenient with certain aspects--unlike 37, for example. I don't see her capable of being in a romantic relationship with an irrational number, and getting to trust someone from outside who isn't specifically aiming to adapt to the scriptures will take a long time, but 6 is a little more flexible under the proper circumstances.

I believe this is the case because of his Bond: Morning voice line!

...One should never parcel off the loaf, for it's a violation of the scripture. But we are not on the island. So, please enjoy the freedom.

So the moment this pressure of responsibility is lifted from his shoulders, I think he would be open to the possibility of his partner being literally anyone. Because of the Revelation, I don't think 6 is blinded by faith like other members of Apeiron are, if else he's burdened by the contradictions and paradoxes that are natural in the world.

Not sure how he would feel with a human partner though! Chapter 05 only says that humans and mankind as a whole are dismissed entirely as "imaginary numbers," forbidden on the island, and there's no specifics on how they feel about mixed arcanists.

Round of cute things.

Literally just a round of cute things that 6 would do or enjoy because I don't know how to incorporate them onto the post in a fancy way.

His crown was made to keep his hair out of his face, but we can see that it's not doing a very good job lol. I think 6 would really find it charming whenever his partner tucks his hair behind his ear so they can get a look at his face--he's much too used to hiding and keeping to himself, so wanting to be seen by you is a pretty new experience. It's also a very casual and innocent gesture, so whenever he feels like getting you to pay attention to him (more than often as a way to excuse himself out of some other conversation) he will allow his hair to drape over his face hoping you'll notice.

6 isn't big on public displays of affection. Just sitting next to you is more than enough for him--but if he happens to notice you get lonely or make cute eyes at him, he will scoot close until your shoulders bump into each other. If 6 is feeling particularly cuddly, he will hold your hand.

But behind closed doors, 6 is very partial to kissing the top of your head or your temple. It's a very gentle kiss, he doesn't even pucker up, just closes his eyes, gently rests his lips there and hums to himself. And he could stay there for a long time if you let him.

If 6 is feeling restless for whatever reason, I can see him asking you to read something for him, so he can concentrate on the sound of your voice and nothing else. It's very soothing to him. He prefers that you read something he can tune out, as opposed to telling him something he'd like to pay attention to--like your thoughts or how your day has been.

Oh! Also, I don't see him as the type to want matching accessories or material things like that, but if you were to give him a gift or something to match with you, he would specifically ask you to keep it simple--nothing gilded, nothing shiny, nothing that is easy for seagulls to steal. Something like a little string bracelet, if possible in your favorite colors rather than his--it might be just a small fragment in a world of matters, but it means so much to him.

Also also, 6 does notice a lot of your gestures or expressions, the little things about you that often go unnoticed. The way you might scrunch your nose, tilt your head, fiddle with your hands, tap your feet--anything.

Warnings: Orgasm Denial, unprotected sex, Sir kink, cock warming, breeding kink, AFAB reader, praising

Here you are laying in the arms of your husband, legs spread rubbing his hands over your thighs “come on Angel read this one” he points to a paragraph on a page of his copy of ‘The Book Of Mormon’ you don’t respond melting into the touch of Sam “I said read the next one Angel” he lightly slaps your thigh “I…I’m sorry Sir…And it came to pass that Alma, who had been the chief judge over the land, did not judge them; for he had given up the judgment-seat to Nephihah, and had confined himself wholly to the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to the testimony of the word, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy." Alma 4:20” Sam kisses your neck

“Good girl good girl, read that part one more time for me” he pushes your white lace panties to the side ghosting his fingers over your clit “And it came to pass that Alma, who had been the chief judge over the land, did not judge them; for he had given up the judgment-seat to Nephihah, and had confined himself wholly to the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to the testimony of the word, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy. Alma 4:20” he smirks “see there you go babydoll, you can listen. Now can you tell me what that means because it seems like you don’t know what it means” you stare back at him with a blank expression “it m-means uhh…”

Sam starts rubbing his long slender fingers over your clit not missing a spot “mhm I’m listening babydoll” rubbing faster and faster, slight moans spilling from your lips..he stops and removes his fingers, you whine at the loss of contact “I asked you a question Angel, explain to me what Alma 4:20 is about and what it means” you swallow deeply “it was when Alma stepped down to dedicate himself to all the responsibilities of the High Priest, it showed the importance of the religious duties he had placed. It was an example of faith and devotion” Sam cocks a brow at you “and? What is it trying to show you sweetness?” “T-the serious consequences one can face when speaking out against the p-priesthood and the doctrines of Christ” he kissed your forehead, and started rubbing your clit at a fast pace “Good job Angel, you did so good. Keep reading, how about…hmm this one” moans falling out of your mouth as Sam flips through the pages of the book finding a quote for you to read

“C-counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will d-direct th-oh my goodness” your words are cut short of Sam plunging 2 fingers deep inside you “what was that beautiful?” Your eyes shooting back to the book “Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good.”—Alma 37:37” his fingers picking up the pace “and what does that one mean?” You lick your lips trying to form a real sentence “Seeking guidance from the lord in everything you do” his opposite hand coming up to run against your matching white lace bra “my girl is doing so so good, you deserve a break” he grabs the book, placing the bookmark inside, shutting it and placing it next to him on the bed.

“Sir please touch me please” throwing your head back against his shoulder “What do you mean, I am touching you babydoll” his fingers hitting that spongy spot deep inside you perfectly, moans leaving you left and right “aww are you close Angel?” You nod, grabbing ahold of his shirt “Sir” bringing you so close to that sweet release he suddenly removes his fingers from inside you “Not right now babygirl, you don’t deserve to cum. You went against our priesthood, why should you get to cum?” You whine is protest against your husband “Whining isn’t going to get you anything sweetness, it’s going to get you into more and more trouble” he kisses along your neck, grabbing the book and placing it into your hands “Next page” you open to the next page “this one” he points to the now 8th quote of the night “And he had gone about among the people, crying out against the people, saying that they should not believe in the traditions of their fathers, and that there is no God; yea, and teaching many things which were flattering unto the people; and this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ." - Alma 30:31” looking back at him for a response “Why are you looking at me? Look at the book. You know what’s next” his hands go to undo his belt “I-it was when Korihor was urging people to go against their traditions, and to deny god. He was trying to undermine the doctrine of Christ and deceive people” you look back at him waiting for his approval “good job Angel, now sit”

You lift your hips off the bed Scooting back to sink down onto his length “oh babydoll, that’s it..” he whispers into your ear, you start to move up and down, he grabs your hips bringing you to a halt “I never said you could move, remember this is a punishment sweetheart. Stay still” you roll your eyes “please please please, I’m sorry sir please” he laughs lowly “what did I just say? Read.” You pick the book back up turning the page “that one there” he point to yet another quote “And he had gone about among the people, preaching to them that which he termed to be the word of God, bearing down against the church. Alma 1:3, it’s about a person claiming what he said was the word of god, but what he was saying went against the established church” he rubbed your side “there you go babydoll you’re getting the hang of it” you clench down on him causing him to hiss “Stop moving.”

“Im sorry Sir” you turn the page finding a quote on your own “But it is by the prayers of the righteous that ye are spared; now therefore, if ye will cast out the righteous from among you then will not the Lord stay his hand. Alma 10:23, means that the people are being spared from God's wrath because of the prayers of the righteous among them. If they were to cast out the righteous individuals, then God would no longer hold back his punishment.” You look back at him for approval “There you go darling, doing it all by yourself. My sweet innocent good girl” he presses a kiss to the back of your neck “Goodness you look so pretty my sweet angel” he grabs your hips lifting you up slightly to bring you back down harshly. A moan ripping through your throat “Shh shh not to loud beautiful” he repeats his movements again and again “Oh my goodness Angel…you feel amazing, feel good?” You nod your head fast “words darling” you grab his shirt “Yes yes sir…yes” your eyes rolling back at the intense pleasure “Good Girl”

“You look so so pretty babydoll, all pretty dressed up for me in your white lace panties.” He toys with the waistband of your panties “Sir..” “hold it” he says with his stern southern accent “I..I can’t” “you can, and you’re going to” tears forming in your eyes, you try your hardest to hold it as long as possible “Sir please..I can’t hold it longer” he shakes his head “I already told you to hold it, you can do it sweetness come on” he grabs the book from you placing it back on the nightstand, he places a hand on your stomach “God seeing you all pretty and pregnant for me, waiting for me to come home. How does that sound Angel? You like that?” You nod “Yes..yes sir please” your clench growing tighter and tighter against him

“Yeah? You like that?” Low groans coming from Sam as he rubs your stomach softly, coming so close to that sweet release “Please” he picks up his pace “Go ahead darling, cum for me” that was all you needed to hear, throwing your head back, your back arching off of his chest, cries falling off your lips and you finally get the release you’ve been needing “Thats it babydoll, Good…girl” Sam thrusts with each work, releasing his cum inside you “Good Job Angel, good job” he kisses your cheek, rubbing your head “Come on lay down” he lays you down on the bed, grabbing a glass of water he had prepared before hand “Drink this sweetheart” he holds you in his arms as you try to catch your breath “You’re so good to me beautiful, so so good” you wrap your arms around him laying onto his chest “are you okay my love?” You nod “yeah im okay, I’m sorry for speaking against the-“ he interrupted you “Shh it’s okay, just don’t do it again okay? Just go to sleep” you nod “okay” he runs his fingers through your hair as you slowly start to drift asleep, he kissed your forehead “I love you my sweet angel”

Facts about Amani Cove:

Amani started wrestling when she was 15 years old and trained under Booker T when she turned 16.

Amani is a HUGE fan favorite in WWE. Think of good crowd responses and big pops compared to Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, and Rhea Ripley. She's also very well respected by WWE Executives backstage.

Amani is a twin!! She and her brother Cassius were born thirty-six minutes apart from each other, but AMANI WAS BORN FIRST!!

Amani graduated from Prairie View A&M University with her Bachelor's in Music and a minor in Theater. If she hadn't gone into wrestling, she originally wanted to pursue a Broadway career.

When Amani and Cass were 5 & her sister was still a newborn, her mother walked out on them after having an affair. Amani has only seen her mother twice since she left, both times were after she and her brother made something of themselves.

Amani is 3 years older than Nylah and 8 years older than Anthony.

Before signing with the WWE, Amani had made a rather big name for herself on the indie circuit from 2007-2015, kicking ass and racking up championships left and right, as well shattering the expectations of fans and critics alike.

Amani, though a social butterfly, tends to keep her private life extremely secretive, especially in regards to her childhood.

She's wrestled in promotions such as ROH, Reality of Wrestling, DDT-Pro Wrestling, NJPW, PWG, & Shimmer.

Amani holds a Guinness Book of World Records for most title defenses while holding the NXT Women’s Championship.

At the request of Booker T, Amani auditioned for the fifth season of Tough Enough in 2010, but sadly didn't make it past the preliminary round.

Amani's original entrance music was heavily influenced by a combination of 90s/00s hip hop and 2000s grunge, think the Linkin Park/Jay-Z collab.

In late 2014 she became a free agent and was almost immediately approached by WWE. The initial goal was to sign her and get her into an immediate feud with Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair, but Imani had been under a 90 day no compete clause at the time.

She finally signed with WWE in spring of 2015 and would make her first TV appearance on NXT TV in August. She would later confront Bayley during TakeOver London which would kick off their 5 month feud. Amani would go on to win the NXT Women's Championship at TakeOver: Dallas.

She still holds the record for longest title reign with the NXT Women's Championship at 522 days. She would lose her title to her friend and former tag team partner Ember Moon at TakeOver: WarGames in 2017. This would also be her last match in NXT before debuting on the main roster the RAW after WrestleMania 34 to begin a three-way feud between Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss.

She would win her first RAW Women's Title at that year's Money in the Bank before getting cashed in on by Alexa to begin their feud. She would win the title back at Summerslam that year and would hold the title for 161 days before dropping it to Ronda Rousey at 2019 Royal Rumble.

During COVID, she held the Smackdown Women's Championship for the first time in her career for a total of 371 days, winning it against her tag team partner Bayley at WrestleMania 36. She held the record for the longest reigning Smackdown Women's Champion until Rhea Ripley.

She has an amazing relationship with her sister and half-brothers and is very close to her stepmom Renee.

Amani is a huge fan of horror movies and musicals. Very weird combo I know, but she likes what she likes. Her favorites are Bram Stoker's Dracula and Little Shop of Horrors.

She's also a BIG ASS NERD. She loves Lord of the Rings, Marvel, Star Wars, and is currently obsessed with a show called The Legend of Vox Machina. She's played several campaigns of D&D with Xavier Woods.

As a teen Amani participated in dance, music, & theater arts. She also played volleyball, and competed in track & field.

She appeared in the first ever Women's Royal Rumble at entry number 4, lasting 35:46 before being eliminated by Asuka.

Her most favorite feuds have been with Ember Moon, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, and Bayley.

In 2019, Amani made a surprise appearance as the mystery 4th member of Team Ripley at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.

At WrestleMania 38, Amani paid tribute to her Houston roots. She had a full escort of candy-painted slabs led by legendary Houston rapper Paul Wall.

The first thing she did with her first big WWE paycheck, aside from paying off her remaining student loans, was pay for her sibling's college and move her dad and stepmother to Orlando to be close to her.

Amani grew up in a heavily affluent musical family. Her grandmother was a jazz singer in New Orleans before becoming a background vocalist for artists like Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, etc. Her grandfather played trombone for the band Earth, Wind, & Fire (that's how they met).

Just two months after winning her second Smackdown Women's title at WrestleMania 38, Amani was in a terrifying car accident while at home in Orlando. She had to be pried from the car with the jaws of life and life lighted to the ER. Luckily, she had only sustained a fractured jaw, leg, and left arm, but still had to relinquish her championship.

Amani would make an emotional return nine months after the accident and begin a feud with Bayley/Damage Ctrl before being drafted to RAW.

Right now Amani has 17 tattoos. She plans to get more in the future.

Thanks to her grandparents, Amani is a classically trained pianist and can also play the guitar.

Amani has two dogs and a cat: an orange male named Cheddar, a pitbull male named Brucey, and a Golden Retriever female named Cashew. Cashew was a birthday gift from Damian when she was a puppy.

Amani's signature fragrance is a perfume she had created at a local apothecary shop in New Orleans. It's a blend of vanilla, black orchid, and amber.

Her dream WrestleMania entrance would have Megan Thee Stallion performing her theme.

A few of Amani's major wrestling influences are Rey Mysterio, Chyna, Lita, Batista, Trish Status, Jaqueline, Eddie Guerrero, & Shawn Michaels.

She is very close friends with Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Zelina Vega, Ember Moon, Finn Balor, Samantha Irvin, Mia Yim, Cathy Kelly, & Jade Cargill.

She and Damian Priest have known each other the longest, since 2012 after first meeting at an ROH house show. They've been friends ever since and even lived together at one point.

Amani is fluent in both Spanish and French. She knows a good amount of Japanese as well.

She has an insane sweet tooth. Her favorite candies are peach and watermelon rings and will go ham on a fudge brownie.

Two of her favorite matches in WWE so far have been the match between herself and Ember Moon for the NXT Women's Title at TakeOver: WarGames and main eventing WrestleMania 37 with Bianca Belair.

~~~~~~

*Notes:

this is an AU in which Asuka doesn't go to NXT but rather straight to the main roster.

Amani Cove mainly takes a good chunk of Sasha Banks' achievements and title runs but with slight changes.

Ronda Rousey does not win the RAW Women's title at Money in the Bank 2018 but instead Amani does. The only reason she loses to Ronda at the 2019 Royal Royal is due to Vince McMahon not believing Amani would be a big enough draw alongside Becky & Charlotte at WrestleMania 35.

Amani takes Sasha Banks' spot in the Fatal Five-Way Elimination match for the Smackdown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36 and defeated Bayley.

Amani takes the place of Mia Yim as a surprise partner in the 2019 NXT Women's WarGames match, not Candice LeRae.

Amani Cove teams with Bayley to become the inaugural Women's Tag Titles, not Sasha Banks.

Amani Cove main events WrestleMania 37 with Bianca Belair, not Sasha Banks.

¿POR QUÉ LA CANCIÓN SE LLAMA "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" ?...

¿POR QUÉ DURA EXACTAMENTE 5 MINUTOS 55 SEGUNDOS ?... ¿DE QUÉ TRATA REALMENTE ESTA CANCIÓN?...¿POR QUÉ LA PELÍCULA DE QUEEN SE ESTRENÓ EL 31 DE OCTUBRE?

La película se estrenó el 31 de octubre porque el single se escuchó por primera vez el 31 de octubre de 1975. Se titula así porque una "Rapsodia" es una pieza musical libre compuesta en diferentes partes y temas donde parece que ninguna parte tiene relación con la otra. La palabra "rapsodia" proviene del griego y significa "partes ensambladas de una canción". La palabra "bohemian" hace referencia a una región de la República Checa llamada Bohemia, lugar donde nació Fausto, el protagonista de la obra que lleva su nombre escrita por el dramaturgo y novelista Goethe. En la obra de Goethe, Fausto era un anciano muy inteligente que sabía todo excepto el misterio de la vida. Al no comprenderlo decide envenenarse.

Justo en ese instante suenan las campanas de la iglesia y sale a la calle. De vuelta a su habitación, se encuentra que hay un perro. El animal se transforma en una especie de hombre. Se trata del diablo Mefistófeles. Este, promete a Fausto vivir una vida plena y no ser desgraciado a cambio de su alma. Fausto accede, rejuvenece y se vuelve arrogante. Conoce a Gretchen y tienen un hijo. Su mujer e hijo fallecen. Fausto viaja a través del tiempo y espacio y se siente poderoso. Al hacerse nuevamente viejo se siente desgraciado otra vez. Como no rompió el pacto con el diablo, los ángeles se disputan su alma. Esta obra es esencial para comprender Bohemian Rhapsody.

La canción habla del propio Freddie Mercury. Al ser una rapsodia nos encontramos con 7 partes diferentes:

1er y 2o acto A Capella

3er acto Balada

4o acto solo de guitarra

5o acto ópera

6o acto rock

7o acto "coda" o acto final

La canción habla de un pobre chico que se cuestiona si esta vida es real o es su imaginación distorsionada la que vive otra realidad. Dice que aunque él deje de vivir, el viento seguirá soplando sin su existencia. Así que hace un trato con el diablo y vende su alma.

Al tomar esta decisión, corre a contárselo a su madre y le dice...

“Mamá, acabo de matar a un hombre, le puse una pistola en la cabeza y ahora está muerto. He tirado mi vida a la basura. Si no estoy de vuelta mañana sigue hacia adelante como si nada importara...” Ese hombre que mata es a él mismo, al propio Freddie Mercury.

Si no cumple el pacto con el diablo, morirá inmediatamente. Se despide de sus seres queridos y su madre rompe a llorar, lágrimas y llanto desesperado que proviene de las notas de guitarra de Brian May. Freddie, asustado grita "mamá no quiero morir" y empieza la parte operística. Freddie se encuentra en un plano astral donde se ve a sí mismo: "I see a little silhoutte of a man" (veo la pequeña silueta de un hombre).. "scaramouche, vas a montar una disputa/pelea?

Scaramouche es "escaramuza" una disputa entre ejércitos con jinetes a caballo (4 jinetes del Apocalipsis del mal luchan contra las fuerzas del bien por el alma de Freddie) y sigue diciendo "Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me" (truenos y relámpagos me asustan demasiado). Esta frase aparece en la Biblia, exactamente en Job 37 cuando dice... "the thunder and lightning frighten me: my heart pounds in my chest" (el trueno y el relámpago me asustan: mi corazón late en mi pecho). Su madre al verle tan asustado por la decisión que ha tomado su hijo, suplica lo salven del pacto con Mefistófeles. "Es sólo un pobre chico... “Perdona su vida de esta mostruosidad. Lo que viene fácil, fácil se va ¿le dejarás ir?" sus súplicas son escuchadas y los ángeles descienden para luchar contra las fuerzas del mal." Bismillah (palabra árabe q significa "En el nombre de Dios") es la primera palabra que aparece en el libro sagrado de los musulmanes, el Corán. Así que el mismísimo Dios aparece y grita "no te abandonaremos, dejadle marchar".

Ante tal enfrentamiento entra las fuerzas del bien y del mal, Freddie teme por la vida de su madre y le dice "Mama mia, mama mia let me go" (madre, déjame marchar). Vuelven a gritar desde el cielo que no van a abandonarle y Freddie grita "no, no, no, no, no" y dice "Belcebú (el Señor de las Tinieblas) es posible que haya puesto un diablo contigo madre". Freddie rinde aquí homenaje a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart y Johann Sebastian Bach cuando canta... "Figaro, Magnifico" haciendo referencia a "Las Bodas de Figaro" de Mozart, considerada la mejor ópera de la historia, y al "Magnificat" de Bach. Termina la parte operística e irrumpe la parte más rockera. El diablo, colérico y traicionado por Freddie al no cumplir el pacto, le dice “Crees que puedes insultarme de esta manera? Crees que puedes acudir a mí para después abandonarme? Crees que puedes amarme y dejarme morir?”

Es estremecedor cómo el señor del mal se siente impotente ante un ser humano, ante el arrepentimiento y el amor. Perdida la batalla, el diablo se marcha y se llega al último acto o "coda" donde Freddie está libre y esa sensación le reconforta. Suena el gong que cierra la canción. El gong es un instrumento utilizado en China y extremo oriente asiático para sanar a personas que están bajo los efectos de espíritus malignos.

5:55 minutos dura. A Freddie le gustaba la astrología y el 555 en numerología está asociado con la muerte, no física, sino espiritual, el final de algo donde los ángeles te salvaguardarán. 555 está relacionado con Dios y lo divino, un final que dará comienzo a una nueva etapa.

Y la canción suena la víspera de los Santos por primera vez. Una festividad llamada "Samhain" por los celtas para celebrar la transición y apertura al otro mundo.

Los celtas creían que el mundo de los vivos y de los muertos estaban casi unidos, y el día de difuntos ambos mundos se unían permitiendo que los espíritus transitaran al otro lado. Nada en Bohemian Rhapsody es casual.

Todo está muy medido, trabajado y tiene un sentido que trasciende más allá de ser una simple canción. Ha sido votada a nivel mundial como la mejor canción de todos los tiempos.

Este tema supuso un cambio radical en Queen como si realmente hubiera hecho un pacto con el diablo, les cambió la vida para siempre y los hizo inmortales.

Title: Orym of the Air Ashari, Saviour Blade of the Tempest

Age: 36-37

Class: Fighter (Eldritch knight, lycanthrope)

EXU - Campaign 3 E69

Orym was born and raised in Zephrah by his mother Alma and their neighbor, Derrig and Nel. He never knew his biological father, only his last name being Tarrintel. He grew close with Derrig and Nel’s son Will, and eventually both fell and love. They married in their mid 20s around 833 P.D., and both worked as Tempest Blades knowing the risk for their relationship.

In 837 P.D., an assassin tried to take out the Voice of the Tempest, but ultimately failed to do so, only killing a handful of Blades instead. Unfortunately, both Will and Derrig perished during that attack, breaking Orym.

He left Zephrah a few weeks after the attack, needing to grieve.

During his solo travels, Orym has been ambushed by a werewolf, that eventually bite him during the fight. While he did survive the encounter, he had been afflicted with lycanthropy which made his travels even more hellish. He stayed away from civilization and opted to wear his sash around his neck as a scarf, hiding the bite mark left by the werewolf.

By the time Fearne found him in 842 P.D., he was relatively stable in his grief, but still hid his lycanthropy to her. She eventually found out about his curse one day after a full moon, but decided to stay with him on his journey. Dorian met their settlement a few days after the reveal of Orym’s curse, and the other members of the Crown Keepers soon joined in.

When the group found the Circlet of Barbed Vision, Orym was the one that propose to get rid of it and seek out the Fire Ashari to help, alongside of taking care of the residual they’ve found. Unfortunately, the Fire Ashari settled at the Flamereach outpost were already dealing with an issue, which prompted the Crown Keeper to volunteer to help. The circlet was later kept by the group, believing the Fire Ashari wouldn’t be able to help. After their fight with My’ratta Niselor, he would start to learn magic, integrating it to his fighting style.

In 843 P.D., Orym would be tasked to come back to Zephrah, the Voice of the Tempest having heard of a similar assassination taking place in Marquet. She said to Orym to seek out Oshad Breshio, a survivor of the attack. She would also let him know to travel with members of his group, opting for Fearne and Dorian to join him.

On a mission to Bassuras to get back Armand Treshi, Orym would discover that person responsible for the attack of Zephrah, was also the leader of the Seat of Disdain and a famed warrior of the Apex War, Otohan Thull. To have this wound reopened let Orym be cautious and warned Bells Hells of Thull’s assassins. It wouldn’t save him, as he fell in battle to Otohan. They recognized him, not only as the warrior of Zephrah, but as Tarrintel’s son. After the fight, a coin flip was done by FCG to decide who between Orym and Imogen would be revivified.

With Bells Hells, Orym learned to open up about his situation and let himself use his lycanthropy to help in dire situations. Although Chetney and Fearne wished he could bite them, he refused to do so, afraid of the consequences. He was proven right to be worried when Annaline of the Gorgynej mentioned that if Orym were to loose himself again to the beast’s control, then Bells Hells should not hesitate to put him down. He has kept himself in check ever since, not wanting to injure anyone else.

When the group had been separated by the Malleus Key’s activation, Orym woke up with Ashton and Laudna in Issylra. They would meet up with Deni$e Bembachula, Bor’Dor Dog’Son and Prism Grimpoppy. They help the civilians of Heartdell to assault the Dawnfather’s temple, which Bor’Dor had been happy to do. It was later revealed that Bor’Dor was a member of the Ruby Vanguard, and tried to kill his party. He failed to do so, dying to Laudna instead.

Orym would later made a deal with Morrigan, The Fatestitcher, to be strong enough to protect his friends in exchange of his eternal servitude to the hag when they come back from their mission on the Red Moon. With this bargain, his pupil changed from black to light green, and the standard vines and flowers on Seedling would change into dark ivy. He can still use Hex on his enemies with the bargain, but he also gain Vicious Vines. This abilities allows him to cast once per day Entangle by using the ivy growth on his arms and, on a fail save by his foe, use Shocking Grasp on the vines without losing a spell slots, using them as a relay system. Ever since FCG’s sacrifice, it is unknown if his bargain is still up.

While not clarified as partners, his current love interest is Dorian, who is also reciprocating his feelings.

Masquerade ball

Like his canon counterpart, Orym opt for a sherwami style coat with roomy pants buckling at the ankles. Instead of his sash, he wears a light reddish scarf to hide the scar on his neck. His mask is one of a wolf, made with the help of Chetney using cherry wood from Zephrah. On the day of the ball, Orym added some druidcrafted cherry blossom to the mask, completing his outfit.

He wears his shield as a decoration and has hidden a dagger to his leg thanks to his roomy pants. He was also able to bond to his sword, manifesting it during the fight against Emoth Kade.

Return to Zephrah - Saviour Blade of the Tempest

Back home with his friends, Orym prepared himself for the treks ahead with a new armours made of leather. He also wears the sash back around his waits into a belt, with a blue decorative rope with tassels combined to the sash. He also wears more teal, to have a bit of home back with him. His hair had been cut a little by Deni$e before leaving, and he styled it into a braids that ties into a little ponytail. Forget-me-nots and laurel leaves are druicrafted behind his ears, complementing the design.

He received the title of Saviour Blade of the Tempest by Keyleth, after coming back from their mission on the Grey Valley where they rescued the lost Tempest Blades tasked to find the blue perennem flowers to heal her.

Vasselheim - Preparing for battle

In Vasselheim, he upgraded himself with the Zephyr armour Dorian bought for him.

Since the deal with Morrigan the Fatestitcher, some things changed to his physiology. His pupils are a light green instead of black, and dark ivy vines are growing from his body and around Seedling. Ivy flowers are also decorating him, although scarcely. His hair has grown a bit and covers again part of his vision, but he kept the braids in place.

Lycanthropy

Orym can transform into a werewolf at will, or under a full moon. He has longer hair due to the curse, accelerating its growth faster than a standard humanoid.

During the fight with MirDor, a Doppelgänger resembling Dorian, Orym would fail to resist a Dominate Person spell cast by the Fey creature. Under the control of the Fey, Orym transformed into a werewolf and attacked his friends, biting Dorian in the process. After the fight, Orym told the Crown Keepers he’d understand if they weren’t willing to stick around with him and his condition, but they refused to leave him, just like Fearne did.

When he and Bells Hells fought against Ira, Chetney, their newly acquired party member, knew the telltale of his curse and told him to release it.

On the Silver Sun, a Ruidus flare had influence on his lycanthropy, making him lash out at Fearne and Chetney. It was later revealed by the Weave Mind they could have power over lycanthropes with the flares.

With recent development, his werewolf appearance wears a light layer of clothing, the sash, and has ivy covering his upper body. Orym rarely transforms into a werewolf willingly, since the process is painful for him.

Estranged family - Tarrintel

Tarrintel is Orym’s biological father and a potion maker. He is also an Exaltant, and worked for the Cerberus Assembly and the Ruby Vanguards to create the Potions of Possibilities.

Contrary to his canon variant, Tarrintel stayed with Alma longer after the birth of their son, but ultimately left Zephrah out of fear for his child to become like him. Even if Alma told him he shouldn’t have to worry about their son being born under a flare from Ruidus, he needed proofs. He left Alma, promising he’d get back to her and their child, but never stepped a foot in Zephrah in the last thirty years since he left.

He had been part of a study made by the Omen Archive in Yios around 831 P.D., before he had been found by Otohan Thull and Ludinus. The elf promised him he’d find all the answers he’d needed if he trusted him, and Tarrintel fell for it.

In 837 P.D., Otohan Thull would attack the Voice of the Tempest, trying to taunt the Champion of the Matron of Raven, but failed, only killing a few Tempest Blade. He was immediately worried for his family to be caught by the crossfire, but realized it is too late to help them now, as he is too deep into Ludinus’ plans to turn back.

With his Exaltant abilities, he investigated possible Vessels for Predathos by visiting the dreams of Ruidusborns and Exaltants, and would ask them to join their cause. This is how he first contacted Imogen and Ashton, seeing the potential inside them.

By the time he found out Orym was travelling with them, he demanded Imogen to go away and forget about the excavation site. Bells Hells wanted to put an end to Ludinus’ plan, and Imogen tried to converse with him, asking Tarrintel to switch side. He, however, hadn’t been swayed, and stood by Ludinus’ side and proceed with their original plan of trapping the Champion of the Matron of Raven.

On Ruidus, he had been warned of possible dangers that would befalls him via Imogen, which he tried to shrug off. After a failed assassination attempt, Tarrintel would eventually switch side and work as a double agent for Bells Hells. This would lead to his downfall, with Ludinus finding out of his betrayal and use the harness on Tarrintel to kill him. As he felt his body slowly turn into dust, Tarrintel would invoke a dream on Imogen and Ashton, asking them to kill Ludinus and tell Orym he is sorry for everything. He was rescued by Bells Hells, but his Exaltant powers were absorbed by the new version of the Quintessence Array, leaving him weak and pale and his connection to Predathos nonexistent.

Relationships

Alma: One of the few midwives of Zephrah and Orym’s mother. She raised him with the help of Derrig and Nel, their neighbor. When asking about his father, she mentioned his last name, that he was a potion maker and he had to leave to seek out answers. Alma is very proud of her son, and only wish for him to come back home safe.

Will: Orym’s late husband. Both were friends since childhood, often getting into troubles with Fearne in their teenage years. He was the one who came up with the nickname Big Moon, Little Moon and later propose to him. They discussed of their future and the possibility of adopting a child at some point, but those plans quickly fell at Will’s death. Even in death, Will looked over Orym and was the one who pushed him into living again, and not stay in his shadow.

The Crown Keepers: The first group of people that accepted Orym for what he is since the reveal of his curse. He is deeply protective of all of them, and was worried of what the Circlet of Barbed Vision would bring. While he felt desolate at Opal wearing the Vestige, he accepted it was only a form of power, but tried to keep a close eye on her condition.

Fearne Calloway: Orym knows Fearne since her arrival to Zephrah with her family, becoming an older brother figure to her. She would leave in 842 P.D. to find him, and has been travelling with him ever since. When she was younger, she would pull Orym and Will into her shenanigans, often time ending with Orym becoming the voice of reasons of their trio.

Dorian Storm: Orym’s love interest and close friend. Both made a deal to each other to not let the other go on a dark path since the battle at the Feywild gate in Tal’Dorei, which Orym tried his best to keep. He had been more affected by Dorian leaving than he thought, sometime being reminded of him in every blue things he sees. When he recognized he began falling for Dorian, Orym had been afraid of pursuing them, not knowing if it was okay for him to love again after Will. He would eventually confesses to Dorian inside Caleb’s towers, which Dorian reciprocated. They would both kiss the next day, promising to discover this blossoming relationship once the fight is over. He let Orym ride on Coriolis to have better range against Ludinus, to which Orym was grateful of and kissed his cheek as thanks.

Chetney: Chetney is what Orym would equivalent to the odd grandfather at Winter Crest who shares some of the wildest story, which you don’t even know if they are true. He does eventually warm up the Chetney, even relaying on him to make sure if he goes out of control, he can handle it. This made Chetney become one of the main target of his attacks when out of control.

Tarrintel: Orym’s estranged father. Both Tarrintel and Orym share a few similarities in appearance, mainly with their green eyes and brown hair. Orym even posed as Tarrintel to gain informations on the Ruby Vanguard druid and Ratanish, with various levels of success. He never bothered looking for his father, believing he was dead. At the discovery Tarrintel had been working for Ludinus and by extend, Otohan Thull, Orym was angry. He was, however, open to learn more about him when he choose to switch side, discovering all of his work for Ludinus had been done *for Orym*, since Tarrintel didn’t know if Orym would develop the same curse as he has. Orym wouldn’t forgive him for abandoning his mother nor working with Otohan and not doing anything to stop her from attacking Zephrah. When he learned Tarrintel was in danger and sucked into the harness by Ludinus, Orym was quick to react to the situation and ready to help save him. He might not be the greatest of father, but he was still a victim of Ludinus’ machination and he wouldn’t let that man take another life. Bells Hells manage to push back the Ruby Vanguard keeping him and Ludinus. Orym, with the help of Dorian’s steed Coriolis and a well-placed Forcecage cast by the bard, rescued Tarrintel.
